Leeds, United Kingdom HGF Limited Full time

Title: Business Development Executive Location: Leeds (Hybrid)

The Business Development Executive drives the firm’s growth by leading proactive BD initiatives across Intellectual Property services. Client Development & Relationship Management: Implement client engagement plans, maintain accurate CRM data, support feedback programmes, and coordinate cross-border BD activities.
Drive brand visibility through targeted campaigns and IP-focused content, support proposals and pitches, and ensure brand consistency.
Market Research & Intelligence: prepare reports and monitor legislative developments.
Event & Networking Coordination: Plan and deliver client events, webinars, and conferences, and manage post-event follow-up with ROI analysis.
Data & Reporting: Track BD metrics, produce performance reports, analyse data, and manage IP Pilot reports and competitor analysis.

With strong planning and problem-solving skills, you can organise effectively and resolve issues to meet deadlines. You’re confident in analysing data accurately, managing projects, and supporting improvement initiatives. Compliance and attention to detail are second nature, and you apply technical expertise using specialist systems with ease. Ideally, you have 1+ years’ experience in BD or marketing within a law firm or professional services environment, and knowledge of the Intellectual Property sector is highly desirable but not essential.
